5. JOSEPH PULITZER. Alleyne Ireland; Kennerley, New York, 1914; 230 pp., illus.

Many critics believe this biography of Pulitzer is the best that has been written of the great editor and millionaire publisher. The author, for a number of years, was his secretary.

Two chapters only deal exclusively with life in a newspaper office-its trials, tribulations, joys and recompensations. The book is , singularly well written.

10. THE STORY OF THE SUN. Frank M. O'Brien; Doran, New York, 1918; 455 pp., illus. (With an introduction by Edward Page Mitchell, editor of the Sun.)

Unlike most accounts of journalism, not a person but a newspaper is the "hero" of this story. Therefore, the author gives us something of the life of the Sun during its eighty-five years of service-1833-1918. He tells us of the founding of the paper by Benjamin H. Day. He discusses the field of the Sun, at first, and the period when Bennett was the rival editor. He even tells us of Locke, the grand perpretator of the moon hoax. The story carries us through the life of the Sun under the great Dana, and ends with something of the present administration. The book is very interesting and well written.

7. FIFTY YEARs of Fleet StreET. F. M. Thomas, ed.; Macmillan, New York, 1904; 400 pp., illus.

Fleet street is to British journalists what Wall street is to American financiers. Therefore any book which deals with Fleet street is of interest to journalists. This book is especially interesting, however, because it is a biography of Sir John R. Robinson, one of the leading British journalists of the Victorian period. Nineteenth century London, Parliament, and intimate pictures of Gladstone and Disraeli form part of the book, and show the close relation between the press and politics.

8. THE LIFE OF HENRY LABOUCHERE. A. L. Thorold; Putnam's, New York, 1913; 550 pp., illus.

The chapter entitled “Mr. Labouchere as a Journalist" was written by R. Bennett, editor of Truth, which was founded by Labouchere. Insertions of letters throughout the biography add to its interest. One of the illustrations is a half-tone reproduction of a letter sent by Labouchere to his mother by balloon post, during the siege of Paris.
